Agree, I'm not a fan of the sounds. Particularly on a speed table. On a speed table even if you check the fold box before the action even gets to you, it STILL rings until the software takes the 1 second to fold your hand. And the ringing is a loud pestering ring. No joke, but the first night my wife walked into the room when I was playing on the site, my wife commented on the sound being annoying. Her comment was annoying, as I was multitabling and didn't want to hear it at the time lol.... but she was right.
It's truly not an issue on normal tables, but if there was one change to be made on speed tables I'd make it so that ringing doesn't happen until at least a few seconds after the action is on you. I'd also change the ringing sound to something that still gets your attention, but just isn't as obnoxious.

I have the same issues with my HUD, but I think HEM probably just needs to better adjust. The poker site puts out the software and the programmers at HEM and PT pretty much have the task of adapting to it. I've found that on 6 max and 10 max tables the HUDs work fine once you set your seating preferences and everything, EXCEPT when a table gets short handed. If you're playing at a full ring table with 5 players and a bunch of empty seats, forget it. The stats are all over the place. It also seems that the HEM software doesn't recognize 8 max tables properly and just assumes it's full ring and puts stats in the wrong places.
I've been lazy about it but I'll go ahead and shoot an email to HEM support just to let them know of those issues. Hopefully they take care of it in a future update.
